Biblioteka is a library that collects and makes publicly available artists' books, photography books, zines, ephemera and publications on architecture and design.
We operate as an experimental library space exploring what a library could be.
After running 3 spaces in Kyiv, Ukraine our collection is now based in London, UK.
